Core Tip
Core Tip: Previous studies have showed that there is no apparent genotype–phenotype correlation for lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency, but a protein–phenotype correlation may exist. In this study, we described three Chinese patients with LRBA deficiency. Although all their major clinical findings indicated enteropathy, they had different endoscopy findings and different response to the immunosuppressive treatment. Functional experiments revealed that a lack of LRBA protein expression may lead to worse disease outcomes and be an indicator for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The results of this study will be valuable for the selection of an immunosuppressive treatment or HSCT for treating LRBA-deficient patients in the future.
